East Coast Park (1 Aug 2009)

"Did we go to the wrong venue?"
"No, but this is the ending point. You need to go to MacDonald which is your starting point."
Arrrgggghhhh.....but we were happy! Strolling in East Coast Park is a luxury in life.

We were there quite early but Clarence was much earlier. He reached East Coast Park at 7.45am. A great early bird and I rewarded him with MacDonald breakfast. Cheers, Clarence!!!

Do you know why we were so happy? That's because we were going to MacDonald for breakfast!!!

"Just order. Money is not a problem. Eat more. Eat more. Oh....look at the camera....Seng Loong is taking the photo."

A masterpiece from Redcross!

Beauty in the foreground and in the background.

Postion yourself and smile!!!

Hello Handsome, it is time that we take your photo.

Smile, all of your smile!!!

All of you are standing on the breakwater, do you know that?

Enjoying aircon at Carl's Junior restaurant!

I saw two drops of blood walking around. Let's go and take a photo. Seng Loong...take photo!!! Miss Loke wants photos!!!!

Enjoy ourselves in the cozy corner of Starbuck at East Coast Park.

Moments like this won't come again. Even if it does, the place, time and people would be different. So every moment is unique. Treasure it!

A great movie

War pictures. Horrible shredded bodies. I hated it. However, my friend Roy told me that the movie could people cry and it was good for Social Studies Book 3, Chapter 6. I didn't quite believe him. But I still rented the DVD.

The title is called 'Brotherhood' or in Korean language: Taegukgi (1950 Korea War). The video is in YouTube.

In my life, there are two things that will make me very sad:
1) Someone alive standing in front of a tomb and talking to the dead person.
2) Someone is forced in a train/bus and the loved ones were there chasing after the train/bus.

Why? That was something I experienced personally before.

And the movie had both the items. By the end of the movie, my eyes were all red.

It is a great movie. It makes people cry.

This is a small world!!!

After the crab feast, I followed M to her friend's house.

When I was about to enter the house, I was greeted with a shocking expression from the owner.

"You are the AJC guy in my next class, right? I didn't change much. The hair is still the same." greeted MN.

I was taken aback. You mean I am that young???!!! Hahahaa.a......

"I don't know who you are. Who are you?"

"I am MN from 28/07 and you are in 29/97, right? Don't you remember me?" replied MN.

Seriously speaking, I really couldn't remember her at that point of time. But one thing was for sure: I like her terrace house so much, I wanted to buy it immediately! MN was very friendly and she brought me around the house. She seemed to know me for more than 10 years. True. From JC till now, that is more than 10 years. But, I still can't remember her at all?! While M was complaining to her about work, I walked around the neighbourhood and I fell in love with the place. After one round of walk, I sank into an armchair at the verandah, just outside the house. The homely ambience was too overwhelming, and I could totally understand why M always spends her weekend at MN's house. In fact, I like the house so much, I didn't want to leave the house!!!

Then, Miss F called me the next day and related that she was also a student in AJC and her husband as well. Wah....that's a small world!!! Not only that, I found out that Mr G is also from AJC and we are from the same batch.

You can go and guess who is who and the clue is: they are all teachers from Evergreen!!!

Very meaningful Chinese words

萬物亦自然
人能調萬物
自可掌天盤

English Presentation from 3 Dynamic and 3 Thinking

They are really so good in their presentation that I have no choice but to give them very high marks. Somehow, these two classes always managed to surprise me with their IT skills and the secret sides of their lives. Well done!!!

Social Distancing and going online

"Mum, where are we going to eat tonight?" I asked.

"Stay at home. I am cooking. Got H1N1. Dangerous." she replied curtly.

Social distancing. That is such an ugly word. I can't imagine myself talking to my friends online most of the time. This is so boring. I don't know about the current generation of students. They must have loved it a lot. I don't. There is this lack of personal touch and seeing-face-to-face reality that has become a compulsive void in the lives of many people. In my opinion, communicating via SMS can be extremely distant as compared to friends coming out for a cup of coffee.

Since I was not going out for dinner, it would be better to explore this virtual world of wonder. I found Mr Brown's website very entertaining and downloaded a few Geography videos on GM Food. Great teaching resources!
